📕 (Page 5/9) The next day... I was happy for Bilbo that in AUJ the dwarves at least have washed up! Poor book Bilbo had to do it all himself!

📕 (Page 3/9) There's a passage in the book that says that the dwarves' eyes were "shining in the dark" and I found that so eerie!

Not to be autistic on main but I adore your accurate dialog into your latest comic! I can hear every word in the voice of the audible narrator I first heard the book in (and proceeded to listen to every night on loop for years). Just know it's noticed and appreciated!! Especially from someone who missed parts like these in the movies
Oh gosh thank you so much! I also watched the films and missed a lot of what happened in the book! I remember leaving the movie theaters and complaining loudly about the lack of smart moments like what Gandalf did to get all the dwarves inside Beorn's house, etc! But of course, with every movie adaptation, they'll have to cut a few things, since they don't translate well to film!
But I'm glad you liked reading it in comic form too! 🥰

📕 (Page 2/9) In the original text, Thorin is not only snarky, but impatient, and also apparently very hungry in the mornings!!!

📕 (Page 1/9) This is the first page of a small project I had, where I was reading the Hobbit book and illustrating scenes I thought differed from the films, focusing on the characters and their interactions. Bilbo's internal turmoil is so cute, and it's really fun to see how fed up he becomes of the discomfort of it all!
I only went up to the battle scene against the trolls, when I realized it would be a massive project! And the way I was working on it was absolutely too much for me, so I will probably go back to it with more time! 😂 So it's just a little thing, 9 pages long! Still, hope you guys enjoy it! The dialogue is of course mostly by Tolkien himself!

hello ruto!! i’ve been such a fan for a long time, and i was wondering (if you’re open to giving advice) — what things have helped you balance consistent artmaking with other demanding life stuff?
hello!!! thank you so much for the support!! glad you've been going along for the ride! 💖 I would love to try to give some advice!
1- when I was in school, college, uni, etc, I had a lot of energy and health and used to draw all the damn time! In class, at home, etc. So I bet most people in that situation don't need help finding time to draw, since work isn't mostly expected of them.
2- nowadays, since I work with art, I have a strict schedule I have to maintain so I can create, edit, post art consistently. I believe for me, though, even before having a work relationship with art, it was about a self-feeding loop of being surrounded by fans, wanting to participate, to share new ideas, see what folks think of my art, what they want to see next... I would have a lot of trouble creating consistently if I didn't have the constant feedback. It's something that brings passion and drive, and it makes my hands itch to draw! So perhaps finding a niche, responding to comments, being social with fellow fans or artists will help you find that desire to create art!
3- don't force yourself too much. It's so easy to get repetitive strain injury, since nowadays we're always using our fingers and wrists for every task! Also, life is so important! If you need to stay away from making art for a while to take care of friends, family, yourself, it should take priority. You'll find it easier to find inspiration if your life is going well, too, there won't be a looming cloud of dread and anxiety around you if so!
4- try different things to see what feels better! I like changing materials, theme, so that things feel less monotonous in the actual "builder" phase of art. So using a different sketchbook, using loose paper, different media, etc will make the bored side of your brain be more focused! (If I didn't work with art, I'd also try to finish a 30 day drawing challenge, for once! They're so demanding!)
Anyway, good luck! If you have any more questions, please send them my way! 💪

Hi I love your art and comics so much!! I was wondering if you’ve seen what we do in shadows at all? I feel like you’d really like Nandermo a lot and I’d absolutely love to see them in your style!! I hope you have a good day <33
I LOVE Nandermo! I've drawn a few one-shots about them on my patreon, the drawings will probably be posted here later this year :>
